Went to Sunway Pyramid last night with a friend that I have not met since November 2007. Went to park at the new wing parking lot and noticed that every parking bay has indicator lights. What do I mean? Well, if there is a car parked in a bay, the indicator is red. If there is free parking bay, the indicator is green. This is to show the next person to know where the available parking bay is located. Thats so cool, right!
Just curious of where Sunway Pyramid gets that idea from. Next curiousity would be the cost of implementing those indicators. Then it would be how the indicators know that theres a car or not - whether it is using some sort of laser technology (they wished) or is it some hidden camera or wall sensors that is being implemented. Doing such is not cheap. Well, thats the first parking lot that I noticed uses light indicators.
The movie Cloverfield - watched it last night at Sunway Pyramid too. I didnt read the trailers or see any ads about it so from the name, I thought its a thriller or action movie. When it started, the camera keeps moving. Guess what, this movie is another copy of the Korean dragon movie (forgotten whats the name already) except that Cloverfield shows the movie from 1st person point of view. In the end, Manhattan city is bombed... hahahaha...
Well, CNY is just around the corner next week. Happy Chinese New Year 2008 to everyone!!!

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Malaysia is a country with 14 states, lots of Sultans, a king, and a Prime Minister.
When it comes to birthdays for each of these Sultans and kings, it is a "Public Holiday" for each corresponding state. So far, I think this is the only country with so many public holidays given in a year. Some are state holidays and a lot are national holidays.
I noticed this is why all Malays want to work in the government because of the plentiful benefits they get instead of working in international or MNC companies. One major benefit is the 4 or 4.5 working days per week. Why? This is because of the popular Fridays in every week. What happens? I noticed that some or many of a typical employee leaves early for lunch, goes to Friday prayers, sleeps or rest a while, then instead of going back to office, goes somewhere else such as play sports or meet up with friends, or hang out with friends. Afterthat, the person only goes back to office and decides to have afternoon tea. After a while of sitting and glaring at the office walls, the time is 5.00pm and it is time to go home already. I am not making up these stories. I witnessed and noticed how these government employees work. The irony is they are given an increment of about 15% (Source: from newspapers 2007) of their salaries for a 4/4.5 working days per week. This is a major benefit for working in the government sector. ALL MNC companies are working strictly 5 days per week 8 hours per day. Government sectors are working much less and quality of work remains poor.
Another major benefit is if the holiday is on a weekend, it is automatically carried forward to the next working day. Hahahaha... Well, why not just make it 3 or 4 working days per week then... This is just so poor and somewhat stupid decision made by someone in this country. This is one major reason why Malaysia is still a developing country - no one is working or making efforts to make this country grow. Disappointing...
Now, theres so many public holidays! This is why I noticed all Malays moving away from big MNC companies and going to government sectors. They get lots of benefits but actually what do they learn and get out of working there? I can guess almost to nothing new. I am working in a MNC company, so I know of where the employees are moving to and coming from. All these are facts!

DR. CHUA NATIONAL SCANDAL
Dato Seri Dr. Chua - a Health Minister, a vice-president, an MP, a chief officer, and a few more high positions.
He "ADMITTED" that he is the guy in the sex video being distributed all over Malaysia. He "SAID" that he is being very honest about this. He also "SAID" that he is doing this as a lesson for all other leaders not to follow his wrong-doings.
I find all this totally funny, ironic, and stupid. He did something wrong - he should be punished like all citizens. Now he only resigned from all posts and thats it. He is GUILTY and many is still crying for him not to leave those posts? What kind of Malaysians are these?
Mr. Chua did something bad and he is twisting the whole scenario as if he is doing a good thing for the country. hahahahahaha... All Malaysians think alike!!!
The funniest thing is the comments given by his wife! The wife said its "OK" as he is a good husband and the children likes him a lot. Huh? This doesnt make sense! I just dont know how these people think and react to such situations when high-authority governmental person admitted to something serious which may deteriorate a country's shame. This is a major shame to the country and everyone seems to be ok with it especially the family. hahahahahaha... This is just too much BS to handle!... hahahahahaha... Might as well be some other "Malay" guy doing the same thing and being treated the same way... sounds good?
Anywayz, this story is just pure stupid and being handled very poorly by the country.
Ciao for now.
